Ubud Monkey Forest

Stalking a little macaque tot clutching tightly grotty peanuts to his heart, you are as well allured by the omnipresent banyan trees to take a stroll into a different planet, planet of the apes. Here you are an alien, intruding a primitive universe, the crab-eating macaque's Macaca Fascicuiaris. But don't get it all literally, these macaques are not seafood lovers. They still fancy bananas, although once in a while few might hop onto your shoulder and snatch away your branded sunglasses. It is actually a slick trick monkey business you may saysince you will inquire for bananas as the ransom. Other smart acts orchestrated by these primal mammals may enamor you tentatively, succumbing to their cute bear-face smiles and gibberish chatter. Indeed, to surmise that apes are no better than humans is a perplexing confession sometimes. Especially after a rendezvous with the cheeky mammals at Ubud Monkey Forest (Wenara Wana), they should be unquestionably listed as your strict subject of suspicion, of how far they have become, and of how human-like they have grown to be.
